Alzheimer's Disease

en Limba Engleză Paperback
Alzheimer's Disease: Forget Antioxidants & Supplements is a book presenting the scientific facts regarding the failure of these agents to prevent or reverse this disease. As our life spans increase, Alzheimer's disease (AD) is fast becoming a terrifying scourge for mankind, as it robs its victims of their memories and families of their finances. There are about 28 drugs in development for treating Alzheimer's but there are no promises of a pending success at hand. Painfully, I watched my dear mother succumb to this dreaded disease and hope that my in depth research into oxygen metabolism will offer opportunity for future research breakthroughs. Supplement manufacturers frequently mislead consumers with high-pressure advertisements, designed to create a feeling of guilt when family members do not resort to the use of one of their so called "memory miracle" pills. Overall, antioxidants and supplements have been disappointments and failures. Even though none of the current AD drugs have proved effective over the long haul, they are prescribed to 25% of those diagnosed with AD. The cost of care for AD patients is predicted to "break the Medicare bank." Vaccines have also been failures. To be perfectly candid, we do know what causes AD and do not know how to prevent or treat it. That is the truth but research still offers hope. We must fight to have increased funding for Alzheimer's research. In the interim, we must require and demand respectful and qualified care for all Alzheimer's patients. About 5.3 million (figures vary) Americans currently have AD and a new case is diagnosed every 70 seconds. The word "victim" seems overused in today's media but it is truly appropriate for those suffering from the tragedy called Alzheimer's disease (AD). We can and we must do better. Read my book for clues to the future of AD.
